Baby carriers sold at Target, Amazon recalled over fall hazard
The buckles on the Infantino carriers have the potential to break
About 14,000 baby carriers sold on Amazon and at Target stores nationwide were voluntarily recalled Thursday because they may pose a safety risk to children.
Infantino, the maker of the baby carriers, initiated the recall after discovering the buckles on them have the potential to break, causing a child to fall, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Thursday in a news release.
